Friday June 26, 2009 Michael Jackson video game: Just beat it, just beat it
|
Rest-in-peace, Michael Jackson. Here's a video game in your honor. If someone has a pointer to a MAME emulator for a Java ME tech-enabled phone, let me know. This would be a good mobile tribute to the King of Pop.
See: We'll miss you.

|
Ting-ding, ding. Wah-wah-wah. Boom, chucka-wucka-wucka-wucka. Here's a techno soundtrack laden video showing how Matthew Sacks has it going on with JavaFX Mobile! Break it down now, Matthew!

Wednesday June 10, 2009 News from JavaOne: Now Verizon does Java ME tech; Who's next, Apple?
In case you missed it at the JavaOne 2009 conference last week, Verizon finally gave in and agreed to allow Java ME apps and games on their wireless network. They finally see the light and agree that there is high value for Java ME on cell phones. Now, we just have to wait until Apple finally has their epiphany on why they should put Java ME on their iPhone and iPod Touch. See: Here's a quote: However, due to the carrier's newly opened stance toward networks and applications, he said Verizon Wireless will embrace Java technology--and will provide Java developers clear access to Verizon Wireless' network and customers.Hallelujah! They see the light! The truth shines bright! :-) |
Tuesday June 09, 2009 Sun rallies mobile faithful with Java ME tech
Here's an article about Java Application Terminal Alignment Framework (JATAF), which is a way to ensure your Java ME app or game will run on various networks and handsets. Hey, what happened to all that fragmentation that everyone complains about? Poof! It just disappeared. :-) No wonder why Sun is rallying the mobile faithful... See: Here's a quote: Since the creation of Java ME, we've had CLDC and MIDP in an attempt to make sense of the chaos. And now, with Google and Apple exciting developers and service providers contemplating their own online stores for mobile, it's back to Java ME - only this time with unified testing.It's good to know you're all coming back... eventually. :-) |
Monday June 08, 2009 For the few, the proud, the Orkut users, here's Java ME tech
While the rest of the world uses Facebook for social networking, for the 3 people in Brazil who happen to use Google's Orkut instead, there's a new Java ME tech-enabled app for their cell phones. See: Have at it Orkut users: Orkut Mobile Here's a quote: Last year, Google released a mobile site for Orkut, and now they have released an Orkut Mobile App, which is available for most Java- enabled devices.Hey, don't knock it. Google knows which mobile platform is the most important whether in the U.S., Europe, Asia, Brazil, or anywhere else in the world. You have to port your app to Java ME technology, or risk losing market share. |
